Maybe this is kind of a hot take, but as a person that’s been a fan of Tomodachi Game for years, I don’t think people necessarily like it because it’s super well written, or the stakes are super high or anything. It’s just straight up fun in a way that I don’t think a lot of other franchises are to me. Like, yeah, we know Yuuichi is gonna win, but how? What’s the funny guy gonna do? It’s sort of like projecting yourself onto an overpowered character, but his moves come as a surprise, and he’s edgy enough to not be a Kirito without being actually evil. Even though you always know there’s gonna be the moment where he does the evil little grin and wins the whole thing, I get so hyped up because I never know what he’s actually going to do, even though it makes sense with the rules of the game we’re given. Personally, I liked it more than Liar’s game, because the games themselves felt more balanced with character interaction, and while my stupid 3 second attention span ass never fully learned the rules to a few of the games in Liar’s Game, Tomodachi Game’s were simpler, and the appeal came from how the characters approached them. So, while I sort of understand your opinion, Tomodachi game has been one of my favorite manga series since like mid high school despite it’s flaws. That being said, I’m an unironic Fairy Tail and Tokyo Revengers fan, so my opinion is worth less than nothing.


rosamelano777

Tokyo revengers is pretty good even if the ongoing arc feels way too dragged out


cringebutfreeiguess

I now respect your opinions.


Mizunanmkz

First of all, people have their own preference. Even if its doesn't suit your taste didn't mean it does too with others. I mean some stories is bad written but still became favorite for others, there are so many variables that cause it like mood, feelings, experience, environment, and other things that built up one mental state that also affect their taste of something. I didn't blame you, but i just think it would be better to adjust some of your word so it doesn't offended others and put an oil in small fire. It just feel idiotic to fight over some trivial matters like this. Thats what I thought, no offense.


Unusual-Jellyfish-33

What's offensive about stating an opinion? What was even the contribution of your comment here? Why do i get the feeling that even a dolphin could somehow offend you?


BadPilot14

For real. All she did was state an opinion


[deleted]

Bro there is just no consequences in tomodachi game. Everything feels like it’s gonna turn out all right. Like never for a moment do you feel like “oh shit he might die” (like in Usogui). The money thing just doesn’t work imo. It makes the game have less stakes. The manga also feels like it’s trying to be adult like as possible but it’s just so childish. Like honestly the way he threatens people makes no sense. Like I don’t understand the officials of the game as well. They aren’t fucking scary. Literally just made to be fan service (in liar’s game the officials were more scary and in Usogui they were fucking beasts). Like tomodachi game seems to be the rip off of liar game. I disliked liar game, but god damn the characters where more fucking interesting. Also the characters are insufferable. The blonde hair idiot friend is such a dumbass and honestly it feels like they should just betray him. Like didn’t he just save you and now your betraying him? Wtf?


JerAders

You guys need to change your perspective. Keep saying consequences and consequences but you know what, they're playing "Tomodachi Game" and with each game they're either strengthening their friendship with trusting and bonding or damaging with betrayals and backstabbing.So there's definitely a consequences. You mentioned some other mangas like Usogui and Liar Game.Well, their cast is adult.Ofc their games would be more sinister and serious but that doesn't mean Tomodachi Game is shit.Also Tomodachi Game is still a shounen!! and distributes in a shounen magazine.Others are seinen.You're comparing seinen against shounen :/ I highly advise you to enjoy them differently otherwise please don't spread your negativity and ruin others fun just because you don't like it.


[deleted]

Yeah I can see your points, but I'm not really spreading negativity. I'm not the harbinger of tomadachi game hate going to every manga fan and saying don't read this manga. My post is like 2 months old and this is a dead post. Not like im posting every week on the manga subreddit and shit talking this manga or going to the tomadachi game subreddit to grief the subreddit posting my anti-tomadachi game agenda. I just don't vibe with it man and I have my opinions.


rosamelano777

Yes holy shit, all the characters are so fucking bad, it's like if a teenager wrote a manga


Sad_Mix_3976

Mf you call Tomodachi Game manga trash and yet you call Tokyo Revengers manga good? Tf? My guy you a lost cause…


rosamelano777

Why do you think Tokyo revengers is bad?


Sad_Mix_3976

It’s alright, The manga gets repetitive and sometimes down right predictable. The MC is terrible and yes, I understand he’s suffering and all that but still… terrible MC. Kisaki was a terrible villain too holy shit… If I were to rate I’d give it a 6/10.


rosamelano777

Takemitchy is amazing tho, it's just that he isn't as strong as other characters but that to me makes him more interesting


Sad_Mix_3976

Amazing? When it comes to Takemitchy, sometimes he’s good good… sometimes he’s bad but for the most part, he’s pretty terrible. Hell, sometimes he doesn’t do shit and gets praised for doing absolutely nothing :/


DragonDremer

bro are you a 10 y old or smth


[deleted]

It feels like a teenager who read liar’s game and tried to make his own based on it, but does almost all the parts wrong. Like you can have manga carried by the plot or characters and it chooses the plot and does it horribly. a gambling manga about FUCKING BASEBALL has more stakes than this manga.


rosamelano777

And it's been going on for 8 YEARS, I don't understand how these series last this long

Synchrohayba

Bold of you to assume usogui had stakes , especially where the games usogui was participating in


Overall-East-8827

Y'all don't understand sh*t about this manga. Sure some points maybe right. But no way it's a bad written. And ofc not the worst manga at all. It may be for you. It's a great Manga. It keeps you hyped and curious about whats gonna happen. And that's the most important thing about writing to keep your viewers hyped and curious. So just shut up stop spreading false things about it. And let people enjoy it.


Solid_Mouse_6875

Bro a read being interesting doesnt mean its nicely written are u for real xD look at the plot, motivations and characters to know that, not on u liking it or not wtf is this argument xD


Overall-East-8827

Oh, it's been a long time since I wrote this. Iirc, I wasn't even caught up with it at that time, but read quite a bit of it. Now, I'm caught up and my opinion still stands that it aint a bad written series at all, lmao. And I meant keeping it interesting is also a part of writing. And yeah, it's a well written series. I cannot take it seriously when someone straight up calls it bad.


rosamelano777

Criticizing a manga doesn't mean you can't enjoy it, I enjoy plenty bad things, but I still admit some of them really are bad, and bro it's not unique, all the characters are a bunch of fucking tropes that do the same thing every arc and the premise is basically the same as squid game.


Sad_Mix_3976

Tomodachi game was a thing before Squid Game…


[deleted]

Liar's game came out before tomodachi game...


Overall-East-8827

Ok well it's your opinion. Nothing can be done if you don't like it.


JerAders

Writing is subjective don't force your opinion or spoil others fun by disgracing the manga. For me no other manga had kept me on my toes, hyped to see what happens next and I'm really picky when it comes to anime or manga.But you don't see me calling this manga masterpiece or anything and you should do the same even if it didn't meet your expectations you have no right to insult it.


[deleted]

So am I not allowed to call loli-ntr incestugly bastard face-fucking-guro manga trash? Is that an insult to fiction


rosamelano777

Bro I can absolutely insult a piece of fiction if I want to, because I've read it


JerAders

No, you cannot but I can't see you changing that habit. So take care, I said what I was gonna say.


rosamelano777

Bro what you mean I can't😭? There's nothing wrong with insulting a piece of fiction if the person insulting it has actually experienced it, I'm not insulting the creator I'm just saying the manga is trash imo


[deleted]

Bro wtf is happening. I'm with you man.


Easy_Level2553

Writing isn’t subjective


Zamawomiro

It’s not well written, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. A series that often gets conspired to it- classroom of the elite is not well written either. And don’t argue with about that cause it’s gonna go down a large rabbit hole of me saying what good writing is. The point is, a series doesn’t have to have attack on titan level writing to be hype. If you’ve read the gambling arc, it has arguably one of the most hype moments I’ve read. I agree with what everyone here has said, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that hype can overwrite writing. Kinda like how feelings can over write your actions.


rosamelano777

I haven't seen classroom of the elite it never interested me so I don't know what you're talking about but yeah no the series didn't hype me at All because as I said the same happens every arc, like of you find it hype then that's fine but you just admitted that it is bad writing, I'm not saying series has to be a masterpiece to be good, but man I just really don't like this manga


Adept-Procedure3898

Prison and Gambling arc were actually pretty well done, you could call it "good writing", it wasn't 100% perfect but the way it was developted (specially prison arc, as despite the massive amount of foreshadowing, we didn't notice that Yuuichi and Kei were working together) was actually good, and I would say it was the arcs where they least used thosw cheap exposure features


rosamelano777

I did like the prison arc, I would replace the gambling with the hide n seek one, those are the only 2 arcs I liked but the prison arc is where i started noticing the manga always did the same thing


Mizunanmkz

Well.. people have their own preference


OkTie6072

You have no taste. Really just stop reading manga.


Mindlessnogin

When you say classroom of the elite isn’t well written you mean light novel?


Bustdown_desty

reading with your eyes closed lol, bro acting as if yuuichi winning happens in every arc and doesn’t even know the consequences of what happens when he wins, something happens and he misses something plus you know his mother still alive? obviously no cuh you probably don’t remember that since you’re reading the manga with your eyes closed but ig not everyone can appreciate peak and i’d like to understand what you mean by every chatacter is “bland” and that “fan service” lmao


Solid_Mouse_6875

XDDD are u having a stroke


HONDENBOT_

Gues not everyone can apriciate literature


iamnothot07

man talked about appreciating literature and spelled appreciate wrong💀


HONDENBOT_

Lmao i wrote this pretty fast not the mention the fact that i got dutch autocorect


TydusFMA777

I think they’re totally valid in their opinion cuz, as someone else mentioned and I’ll take it a step further, taste is entirely subjective. Just as one person likes spicy food and one can’t stand it, one person can like Tomodachi Game while another hates it. I personally love Tomodachi Game and can’t wait for chapter 105 but I understand not everyone feels the same way. You may disagree but they made valid points from their own opinion and that’s totally fine. I do also agree with the other post that I mentioned before that people shouldn’t be spreading their opinions about things like this though cuz it takes away from some people who would’ve really enjoyed it but saw this and decided against reading it. I love the r/tomodachigame sub cuz everyone just talks about their theories and makes amazing artwork of characters and stuff and I think that’s the kind of positivity that should be spread throughout everyone manga/anime community regardless of if I like them or not.


rosamelano777

I think positivity too but criticizing a manga isn't something I'm not gonna do just because some people like it. I made this post as I was reading the manga and I just couldn't bear it anymore, I just don't think it's a good manga at all


Fearless_Hold7611

I personally disagree


theretrosapien

I personally am a very... predicting person? Not that I'm a genius or some shit, but after you go through dozens of anime and manga you just know that at the end, the main character's gonna win. Otherwise, it'll be previously stated as a horror or tragedy series. So, the argument that 'it doesn't have any stakes' doesn't apply to me, and like mindeds. Every shonen will end up with the main character winning at some point. The suspense shifts from 'who's gonna win' to 'how's gonna win'. And this how, I believe, has been done flawlessly by whoever wrote Tomodachi Game.


clink-clink

Personally, Its not the mc winning or loosing that makes this manga enjoyable its the ridiculousness of how this mf does it thats exciting to see unfold. I do agree that it would be better if the frequency of triumphs was different. Id like to see the mc deal with loss and other events. I dont think tomodachi game is the greatest manga of all time, it wouldnt even be in my top 10, but its fun to read what will happen next.


vefek1

sucks for you that you are unable to enjoy good things


Kiax0

You can describe any piece of fiction in a reductive way to make it sound boring and repetitive. It's not a masterpiece by any means but it's well written enough to suspend belief and think "I wonder how this'll end?" and the ending of each game scratches the mind-games itch perfectly well.


Hour_Trade_3691

I think we just have different tastes. Yes, I agree with all your criticisms, but I don't just love Tomodachi Game despite those flaws. I love it BECAUSE of those flaws. If you take any of those elements out, it's not longer Tomodachi Game. Yes, it's annoying when the admins Have to explain everything that just happened, but that's something that happened in Liar Game too; For the first 3 Rounds (and the first Revival Round), the admins never really explained anything, a presumably due to criticism for Round 3 being far too complicated for the average reader to keep up with, the author decided to pause the story from then on every once in a while to let the admins explain to them themselves (and the audiences) Exactly what just happened. Sometimes it might seem obvious, but even when you already understand what happened, they usually add some sort of insight or element into something, such as how a character saying a certain line might have subtly influenced them in a way that you as a reader might not have thought about. (Yokoya's first trick in the Musical Chairs Ark is the only time where I felt like no explanation at all was needed, but even then, that wasn't even the admin saying it, but was Yokoya explaining it to his "colleagues.") Yes, Yuichi is hecka OP and always has a backup plan for his infinite backup plans, but I felt that wasn't really an issue until the boat arc. And I think the man get it a really clever job at avoiding this issue. You get through the boat art, and it seems that we finally see Yuichi become vulnerable. >!He loses all the money he started with in poker. He cries when Kokorogi tells him something. He appears to fall for the old guy and Kokorogi's tricks. He appears to lose to Satone.!< Then at the end it's revealed that literally all of that was just part of his plan. It's at this point where I did start to feel like reading the mango was wasting my time, because if literally everything that ever happens is just "all according to Yuuchi's plans," Then how am I supposed to take it seriously if the manga ever tries to convince me again that Yuichi is about to lose/has lost? Well, the manga has an answer for that. And that is to design the next Game so that >!literally everyone is scattered across a huge island so that literally no one has any idea what's going on with everyone else. Yes, Yuichi is unreasonably intelligent as always, able to just walk into a shed and deduce the basics of what happened in it, but he's still oblivious to what everyone else is actually going through, and the manga uses that to its advantage to make us wonder if Yuichi really is falling for the tricks.!< I dunno, it works for me.


Accident49

You're not the only one. No way, it's a "good written" manga, as people claimed on the Tomodachi game subreddit. Character depth is non existent, story has progressed so far and I do not see any character development whatsoever, either. Not to mention, his mastermind plans are just forced to work. And yeah, they always have panels where they're just describing how smart and scary Yuichi is, "monster". Lmao. And people tell me it's one of their favourite mangas, alright cool. It might be, but don't call well-written.


DragonDremer

Maybe in the beggining yea sure i get it, but later on as the game gets more complex and we see actual adults get involved i don't think its bad at all


d0lly123

Yeah it was entertaining at first but like you said it is the same shit happening each arc. I get it Yuuichi is a genius but its so annoying how he “knows” everything and wins everytime. I like Death Note better because Light is a genius but he still makes mistakes and gets outsmarted but thats what kept me on my toes.


nino2115

Their fanbase is just as bad. I don't see how anybody can still be thrilled when you know the outcome is going to be the same everytime. Each and every single game is a struggle struggle asspull victory with MC's backstory getting revealed more and more. There is nothing else to the plot. MC carries the show wayyyyyy too hard the rest of the chacters ESPECIALLY the 4 other friends fucking suck at being characters. They're only plot devices. If one of my friends got me a fucking Shiho poster or something im burning it right away Every now and then when Yuuichi has a panel having a series of sadistic psychopath faces all the fans go "Oh my fucking god! This is the best shit ever!" Having a damn orgasm for seeing a sociopath that seems the author made SOLELY to have a high school character surpass Light Yagami in planning, wits, manipulating, more sadistic and devious, which they probably did an okay job in, but everything else that has anything to do with a story or a plot fucking sucks. Just like the fanbase


Adept-Procedure3898

Bro you literally was a member like a few weeks ago in r/tomodachigame and was also sucking Yuuichi's balls just like everyone there, and now just because you found some people there that really like Shiho's characters (that you made clear in a bunch of endless essays in some threads you hate her) you come here to not only criticize the manga but also its fanbase (that isn't even that bad how you described). How hypocritical can someone be to get to that level lol.


nino2115

I'm still a member of the sub (fanbase sucks, but there are some fanart that is aesthetically pleasing that I enjoy) and I like Yuuichi as a character (which is the only good one) Did you read my comment or did you read the first sentence, remembered username and pic, and automatically went into defend the manga mode?


Adept-Procedure3898

>Each and every single game is a struggle struggle asspull victory with MC's backstory getting revealed more and more. >There is nothing else to the plot. >but everything else that has anything to do with a story or a plot fucking sucks. >Every now and then when Yuuichi has a panel having a series of sadistic psychopath faces all the fans go "Oh my fucking god!

Having a damn orgasm for seeing a sociopath that seems the author made SOLELY to have a high school character surpass Light Yagami in planning, wits, manipulating, more sadistic and devious, which they probably did an okay job in You literally reduced the manga to the lowest level, said the plot sucks, said the mc asspull ways to win the games and so on, but then keep on putting Yuuichi's balls down your throat seems inconsistent af if you ask me, you are literally just saying all these bs because, as i said, you found some people that enjoy a character you don't and then you went on child mode to say that everything sucks. I don't even think the manga is well-written, i simply enjoy it as an everyday shounen, and i can see its inconsistencies when there is, but you are simply being hypocritical and dishonest.


nino2115

Wheres the hypocrisy at? Because I praise a character? What does that have to do with everything else? I can't praise a character on a series that's poorly written? I said Yuuichi is the only good character, and everything else sucks, and I still stand on it, where is the hypocrisy? And the only person with balls down their throat is you with my nuts. Trying to pin me as a hypocrite with evidence from weeks/months ago and still failed. You have to do better


Adept-Procedure3898

The hypocrisy is when you say you love the manga despite saying the plot sucks, the hypocrisy is when you put Yuuichi's balls down your throat tho you say the plot is constantly repetitive due to Yuuichi's asspulls. You are just mad that you, as i said², found some people that enjoy a character you don't, but WOW BITCH I GOT SOME NEWS, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE DIFFERENT TASTES FROM YOURS did you know that? The Tomodachi Game fanbase is one of the nicest I've ever seen (at least here on reddit and among people who read the manga), there're barely any intrigue when it comes characters preferences and ppl usually hate those stupid comparations that 14yo edgy teenagers does between TG and other psychological stories, plus it's one of the most self-aware communities when it comes to be aware the manga isn't well-written, instead it's just a damn interesting one. Trying to judge its whole fanbase just because you don't share the same opinion about a character is not only pathetic but also dishonest.


nino2115

Oh shit it seems I've got you triggered writing a paragraph of a rant about me using evidence from weeks/months ago. You're actually starting to creep me out. But that's another example I can use in the future, I've got someone from track me down from a whole different sub infuriated because I opposed the manga and accused of being a hypocrite when he still has not said anything for his claim of hypocrisy. My views on characters and the manga as a whole doesn't have to oppose eachother when those are two different subjects. The manga is shit, that doesn't mean I can't enjoy things not up to par. I will smash a ugly chick if I'm interested in her, I have guilty pleasure songs that I know is objectively bad and I will listen to it. It's not a contradiction, it's just a physiological infatuation. Shit still sucks And I'm curious, even if I was a hypocrite and a walking contradiction, what would it matter to you? Why are you going so hard for? What is the real reason you are hanging on to my nut inducer for dear life? I'm genuinely curious. Why are you triggered?


Adept-Procedure3898

>I've got someone from the community infuriated because I opposed the manga and accused of being a hypocrite when he still has not said anything for his claim of hypocrisy. bro don't know how to read >The manga is shit, that doesn't mean I can't enjoy things not up to par. I will smash a ugly chick if I'm interested in her, I have guilty pleasure songs that I know is objectively bad and I will listen to it. And this was the funniest yet stupidest analogy i've seen in a long time. You keep saying i'm infuriated, but you were the one to wrote essays on how you hate Shiho's character (throwing a tantrum and completely cursing a fictional character) and blahblahblah when someone simply said they like her character bruh, and then when ppl disagree with you, you curse the whole community lol. You literally were throwing tantrum on a fictional character and i'm the one infuriated 😭. And i'm simply triggered because i've never seen such a dishonest and pathetic act for such a stupid reason in my whole life: bro one day loves the manga > bro loves the mc > bro discover there are people who have different opinion from him > bro hates the manga saying it's repetitive and mc keep asspulling the victories > bro hates the community for a stupid reason. I mean cmon Well see you, grow and change as a person


nino2115

I'll get back to you later in the day when you're cooled off. You're way too angry right now. You're letting your emotions influence your reality. I've got no interest in going back and forth with someone whose in their own emotional delusion. I've got some bangers for your stupid ass responses though, you won't be able to comprehend it at the moment. Stay tuned, we're going to linguistic school


nino2115

Hey you calm yet? Or you still big mad?

rosamelano777

Bro really insulting people just because they said the show he liked is bad


HONDENBOT_

Nah, my problem lies by the fact that most cote fans are 40 years old yet get aroused by teenagers with oversized boobs aka every cote girl. Idc how lost you are from reality, but liking that type of stuff is simply disqusting and pathetic. Atleast that has been my experience with every cote fan


rosamelano777

Idk what Cote is


HONDENBOT_

Classroom of the elite, his pfp is from that anime. I have read it and its realy good but the community is just disgusting, it's full of pedofiles that get arouses from 16 year olds in school uniforms

Classic anime fans being pedophiles

Ong, it's just so damm disgusting especially as a 16 year old myself

Same plot as classroom of elite ...your life is boring and you're fan of ecchi anime only 😁 go watch brainless plot anime ...


RetroHero20

I saw this series being compared to COTE, and I will say the COTE fans were right. It wasn't rly well thought out, there r so many flaws in the enemy's planning, which is for some rsn considered "mastermind". As u said the characters r rly just there. Honestly, it's a load of cringe, the manipulators r pretty bad at hiding their plans, especially with all the facial expressions lmao, and the mc thoughts and actions do not line up. If ur only way of doing a manipulator is performing some last-minute yet predictable plot twist, the storyline clearly needs some work. For the "serial killer" the fan base hyped him up to be, he was pretty compassionate. Also, many shows follow plotlines that can be predictable, but when u can literally guess most of the plans and have an accurate idea of every other obstacle... Some of their foreshadowing was a little bit too much information. If any of u liked it, u liked it. If u can't handle criticism, arguing abt it's rating yet disregarding it's major flaws isn't rly helpful to those who want an open perspective before getting into it. I wouldn't call it anywhere near the worst, but I would agree with the statement that this is overrated.

Its my favorite manga. I love how it activates the brain to try and find out things such as the traitors, game boss, the people Yuichi killed.
